Hi,

I want to be able to add a URL to a button dynamically from a text file if possible.

On the actionscript I have the following:

```auto
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.uniq= Math.floor(Math.random()*10000000);
loadText.sendAndLoad("flashstrip.txt", loadText, "GET");
loadText.target = this;
loadText.onLoad = function() {
    this.target.Image.loadMovie(this.Image);
    this.target.Button.html = loadText.BUTTON;
};

```

Whilst “flashstrip.txt” is as follows:

```auto
Image=fla_match.jpg&BUTTON=http://www.google.com

```

However all is not well.

Anyone got any suggestions? - Thank you kindly in advance.
